Garden fresh project by Agan Harahap
Garden Fresh series investigates the shifting boundaries between humans and animals in today’s environment and the complex relationship between art and nature. It is like a fable about a journey undertaken by the animals when they venture into our daily lives. The animals are confronted by a new reality that is in conflict with their natural habits and habitats.
At the same time, when we see these ‘zoo-trapped’ animals in supermarkets, their most outstanding characteristics are isolated as their ‘only’ characteristics. The animals are stripped of their own identities and are used as empty vessels to be filled with the human drama of parody, satire and allegory. We cannot help but see animals from a human vantage point, and therefore in some sense all the works in the present exhibition are actually about us.

Lobster mobile telephone case by Elliot Gorham
The red ‘Lobster Mobile Telephone Case’ is a modern appropriation of Salvador Dali’s ‘Lobster Telephone’ (Aphrodisiac telephone), created in 1938.
Unlike the typical phone case, it doesn’t offer functionality of protection and style. Its features include; camera incapability, ergonomically awkward, too big for your pocket or handbag and most importantly, it’s ability to cause its users embarrassment.
The phone case is a commentary on both the curious nature of the mobile phone case industry and of the modern dependency and or addiction to mobile technology.
I have previously addressed the technology addiction through the development of the ‘Sabbatical Cabinet’, in collaboration with Mathew Little. While the ‘Sabbatical Cabinet’ offers an uncompromising break from your devices through the aid of a timed internal locking mechanism, the lobster phone case addresses this similar need to detach yourself from the mobile technology, by being user-unfriendly. Instead of a locked ‘out of sight, out of mind’ approach, the ‘Lobster Mobile Telephone Case’ presents itself as a deterrent through its awkward and inoperative design. Resulting in minimal enjoyment of function, zero fashion credibility and lastly, reduced mobility for the user.
Like most mobile phone cases, it does offer the illusion individualism.

van Santen Netwerk - Stopmotion Xmas Card
When creating an advertising concept it often starts with a piece of paper and a pencil. With a good concept the idea comes to life and the magic starts. We used just basic tools for the animation, like paper, a pencil, a sharpener, an eraser, scissors, glue and a set square. When the sails of the Dutch windmill are turned, the whole scene comes to life. All elements pop up and the message ‘I WISH YOU CREATIVE HOLIDAYS’ appears. People can send the viral to their friends and can also download all graphics to get creative themselves.
